Detectives said they believe the man was driving west on I-264 when he was shot near the airport.

Officers said the man crashed into a concrete barrier near the Taylor Boulevard exit.

The coroner said Nicolas Thomas, 20, was shot multiple times and died at the scene.

One neighbor said he heard more than a dozen gunshots.

“I was sitting in the bed,” said the neighbor, who asked not to be identified. “I just heard rapid gunfire and screeching of tires.”

He said the sound of gunshots is a normal occurrence.

“You just hear a lot more gunfire,” he said. “You didn’t used to hear as much gunfire, even though you knew the crime was taking place around. It’s just extreme now. It’s getting normal now and it’s really bad to that it is.”

Another neighbor said she could count at least a half-dozen shots on Friday night.

“I think there were a couple,” said Donna Dattillo. “Then a little pause and then there were more.”

Dattillo lives about a block away from the Watterson Expressway.

Even with a sound barrier blocking her view, she said she could still hear the shots.

“It’s ridiculous,” Dattillo said. “It’s scary.”

Police shut down the expressway on Friday night as detectives collected evidence.
